does reg. unleded + octane boost = supreme unleded

[Bogger]

The supreme pump at my local station is down. is regular fuel with additive just as good in my wifes summit?????

Thanks,

Bogger

yeah i used to have a summit and all i ran in it was reg fuel and sometime i got special fuel the old purple farm fuel never killed it so thats my 2 cents:d

Regular gas is 87 octane. Regular with 104 Octane Boost is 87.4 octane. Not worth it, in my opinion. Every point the booster is good for only adds 0.1 octane.

So what I'm hearing is that I will not do any damage to the sled by using regular unleaded for a tank or two, until the supreme is available again...I have jerry cans but thats a pain in the a$$..

yeah bogger u will be fine man i run my m 1000 last year on reg no problems i only run prem when i go to the hills

If the engine is stock,you are good to go.I only run regular in mine.

As long if it is not any of the HO models.They require premium

There is octane out there that will increase up to 60 points, for every 10 points you will increase 1 octane #,I run it all the time, you never know what you get at the pumps. A lot of burned down engines are blamed on in proper jetting when it is from BAD FUEL.

What elevation? Octane requirements go down as you go up in elevation so if its the HO but you are running it up high I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you are lower elevation, you could dump a few bottles of octane booster in if you really are worried.

That X motor has about 150 lbs compression at lower elevs....will need premium if you ride below (guessing) 4000 feet. Run out to the local airport and get a couple of cans of LL100 (Av gas) and mix it 50/50 with regular....you'll be good anywhere. I bought AV gas last week and it was cheaper than premium. As mentioned earlier, a can of octane boost is a total waste of $$$. It is mostly made up of Xylene, Toluene, and a little ATF to make it less dry. I used to have access to lots of Xylene and we determined that it would take over a gallon of Xylene into 10 gallons of fuel to show any appreciable octane increase.

you sure about that??? my spec sheet and the book that came with the sled says i only need to be running regular.

 

[tmix]

i run prem. in my 05 and 07, 08 freestyle just don't want to have any fuel problems...my 2 cents....

 

[my mod]

You should run premium when possible, but a few tanks of regular once in a while will not hurt them
Don't get to hung up on what the pump says, You are better to run regular that premium from a service atation that does not sell a lot of premium and you get old fuel with a little extra water. In saying that, I would not run regular all the time, but once in a while does not hurt

 

[dooryder]

i ran reg once in my sled and it ran like chit never again, only prem for me

my 05 summit 600HO and 06 summit 600sdiHO call for reg unleaded.........our 2 07 550 freestyles call for reg as well......85 octane in them

my 07 XRS and 09 XP call for premium..... I buy 93 octane for them
